Prototyping Interview Questions

122 prototyping interview questions shared by candidates

First phone round was basically screening of my resume. Mostly, the questions were focussed on my previous internship experience (FPGA design). Onsite rounds were difficult and they focussed a lot on my internship experience and hardware domain knowledge as well. Questions: 1. How does AXI-stream protocol work? (part of my previous work exp). Draw timing diagram on the whiteboard, state diagram, signals between master and slave, questions on bandwidth. 2. If AXI-Stream transfers only data, how is address transmitted to slave? (I could not answer, but the answer is TID and TUSER sideband signals of AXI-stream). 3. Static timing analysis, false path. 4. Projects on resume with full description. 5. C++ programming, palindrome, what is the best data structure for detecting anagrams (answer is maps), program for the same. 6. Clock domain crossing solutions, what is the best solution for multiple signals synchronization.
